its a stark reminder, when you work with really (potentially) dangerous tools all the time, it's easy to afford a lot less care to the day to day tools, i have made real messes of my hands before, but never with a power tool.

i stabbed myself in the wrist and sent the stanley blade in all the way to the hilt, very nearly severing my tendons and my artery a few years ago, and i have cut down to the(and into the) bone twice in almost the same place on my left hand whilst cutting timber with a handsaw, again nicking the tendons.

 

this poor sod was "only doing a bit of a hedge with electric clippers", not running a ms880 over head 100ft up a tree

 

hope he heals quick
